Considerable excitement was caused in "Brooklyn" last night about 9.15 o'clock by the shooting. of Mr. Charles Richter, in his store, corner of Fourth and Swann streets, by a desperate negro named John Avery, who works at Powers, Gibba & Co 's factory. Fortunately only two flesh wounds were inflicted, one through his left arm and tne otner a glancing snot in the right side. After the negro emDtied three chambers of his revol ver, he ran from the store and made his escape iu the ark. The negro Avery was using profane language in the store, and Mr. Rich ter told him to shut up or get oat- He replied with so path that he wouldn't get out. Mr. Bichter advanced from behind the counter, and the negro drew his pistol and fired three soots. two of them taking effect as stated, the other crashing through a show case. Police Officer M. E. Quy, on that beat, hurried to the scene in time to see the negro escape into the dark, but made a great tffort to stop him.

Yesterday was distinctively a Rich mond day, speaking from a base ball point of view. The Wilmington team. which fought a drawn battle for thir teen innings with the boys of the Old Dominion on Monday, at the opening of the league season, suffered a com plete shuUout yesterday at the hands of her Virginia brethren, who suc ceeded in crossing the home plate six times once in the first inning, twice in the second, once in the fifth and twice in the sixth. The defeat is hard to account for. Foreman was criticised rather harshly for his work in the box, but a careful scrutiny of the game in detail will J show that it waa not all his fault; the j magnificent support accorded to Stew- art at the Monday game was lacking ; n some degree, and then, too, the j team played in hard luck the down right Hough article," which loses many a game for a dead-shot pennant winning team. Foreman did good work to all appearances, and Wil mington, in the opinion of base ball authorities, has not one scintilla of reason for a kick. The game yester day was a good one; the home team can't be a winner every day and stay in the league. The other teams would necessarily have to quit the business. The following telegram from Rich mond last night, with the game in detail appended, tells pretty well the story of how the best of teams can be beaten sometimes and beaten badly: Richmond, April 16. The result of to day's game here is as follows: score bv innings. 123466789 B.H.E. Rich'd. 1 20012000 6 9 3 Wilm. 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 0 Batteries: Hooker and Manner; Foreman and Thackera and Crenston.

Mr, Joe Newman, who 'witnessed both games at Richmond telegraphed the 8tar last night: "Witnessed yes terday's game, which was a good one. Players showed up well and worked together. To-day's game was against home team but they did their duty. Wilmington folks can be proud of their team. Don't be discouraged, we are bound to win out in the end." What Richmond Thinks of Us. The Richmond Dispatch of yester day, in speaking of Monday's game, sajs: The lccal season opened with one of the best games ever seen on the Rich mond grounds. Wilmington was Rich roond's opponent, and everv member of both teams played noble ball until. st tne end of the thirteenth inning, Umpire Clarke called the game, with the score 4 to 4. The game was full of brilliant nlavs. and frequently the rooters went wild witn delight The 1.000 spectators who braved the lowering clouds and chill ing blasts from the north felt well re paid for the trio. It was the general verdict that the game was too good for either club to lose. If the game vesterdav is a criterion of the class of ball the new league pro poses to give its patrons, then there is no doubt about the success of the lotal season. The Wilmington team showed up strong, and the team that beats it out in the season's race will have to stand first or second. Christened, "North State Giants." A Washington Post special corres pondent at Richmond Monday refers to the game there as a "gilt edge exhi bition," and the Times, of Richmond, throws all manner of bouquets at the Wilmington boys in writing its story of the opening exhibition. Among other things, it says the game was one of the "best and cleanest games ever played in Richmond." In its notes of the game are expressions like these: "Stewart surprised everybody after the poor start he made" "Crenston made the only hit of the game that called for more than one base." "Stafford put out nineteen men, while Thomas stood for nine." "Two more evenly balanced clubs never played in .Richmond." "Wilmingtox has already been chris tened the 'Nofth State Giants.' " "Hol lywood made a splendid cstch of Kain'a bog fly in the third inning, and the crowd gave him the glad hand."

Some Oeneral Leazue Notes. Cy" Yorhees has not yet been signed by Wilmington. He is still in Charlotte and was heard from twice yesterday regarding a contract. An offer was wired at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and a letter .forwarded on the afternoon train. He will likely give the management a definite answer to-day and join the team in Ports mouth to- morrow. Wilmington has received handsome new unirorms and members oi tee team donned them for the opening game at Richmond Monday. There are those who will bet even that Wilmington will win the game this afternoon. Messrs. P. G. White and Louis Keen will receive 'the de tailed ig me again to day at Murphy & Co.'s office and a large crowd should be present The game will he phoned to few, if any, places in town and this should insure a large attendance. The grand stand at Hilton is being enlarged to accommodate suu more people for the games next week. FAST SAILING BOATS. Severs! New Yachts Will be Added to the Fleet This Season Good Racing Expected. As the season advances, owners of yschts and their friends are beginning to look forward and to make prepara tions for the races in Bank's Channel, at Wrightsville this Summer, which always attract so much attention here. A geutleman who is well up on the matter said yesterday that prospects are brighter for good racing this Sum mer than ever before. Mr. S. P. Cowan received from Philadelphia a few 4y? ince a. splen did new "tucfc up? yacht which he will try to day. Mr. Clayton Giles, Jr., received by the New. York steamer yesterday a new "lark," which he will launch at an early date. It is understood that Mr. M. S. Willardhas ordered a "lark." Mr. Geo. Harriss will nnt a brand new rig on the Euaenia. which will make her a com paratively new yacht. With the above named additions, of fust sailing boats, and the favorites of . . -v - .

Worth, it is safe to predict some splendid races for this season. . The Regatta Committee of the Caro lina Yacht Club are working on new rules to govern the racing of the two different classes of boats which will be ntrd. The first race i be on the Fourth Qf JillJt. Ml THE PLAINTIFF WON. Case of Worth, Receiver, Against Fisher Decided in Superior Court Yesterday. ANOTHER TEDIOUS HEARING. Matter of Weedea Versus Bonding and Trust Company Began Yesterday. Seversl Suits Will Go Over Until Next Term. The case of W. E. Worth, receiver of the Greensboro Coal and Mining Company, against B. J. Fisher, of New York, was decided in the Supe rior Court yesterday afternoon ad versely to the defendant, whereupon a motion for a new trial was lodged by Col. Joo. N. Staples and Messrs. Bountree&- Carr, counsel for Col. Fisher. Upon the question of amount plaintiff is entitled to recover, the jury answered $1,000 with interest from June 1900. the date of summons in the action. The verdict was rendered upon the instruction of Judge Hoke as in his view only a point of law was invol ved. The contentions of both parties to the suit were given at some -length these colums yesterday and' the fol lowing are the issues submitted to the jury and the answers thereto: Was Greensboro Coal and Mining Company a corporation as alleged in complaint! "Yes " Was plaintiff appointed receiver in creditor's bill against said company in which aaid company was adjudged in solvent and that a collection of entire subscription of all the stockholders holding assessable stock was necessary and required to pay outstanding debts of the company f "Yes." Ws defendant such a stockholder of the said company at time said ac tion was instituted and said decree made? "Yes." What amount, if anything, is due and owing from defendant to plaintiff by reason of unpaid subscriptions! with interest from June 1900, date of summons in this action." The other cases in which Mr. Worth, receiver, is plaintiff and set upon the calendarfor this week, were left open. It is probable that the question of a new trial will be heard by Judge Hoke very soon. It was after 6 o'clock when the court took a recess until this morning at 10 o'clock, the remainder of yes terday's session having been con sumed in a part hearing of the case of L. A. Weedon vs. the American Bonding and Trust Company, in which plaintiff sues for the recovery of an amount for alleged failure to fulfil a contract by Mr. L B. Vol lers, a contractor, who was bonded for the completion of a residence Oc tober 10th, 1899. for the plaintiff. The following jury has the case in hear ing: E. A. Kerr, J. D. Garrison, G. C. Simmons. Geo. T. Hewlett, E. C. Craft, O. D. Gore, Mike Carroll, M. B. Kerr, Bertram Quelch, W. A. Spencer, A. E. Carter, B. R King. On motion Mr. L. H, Vollers was made party defendant, and he came into court and filed answer admitting this to be the trial term. The only issue in the case is : "What damage is plaintiff entitled to recover for breaches stipulated in contract on part of defendant?" Messrs. Bellamy & Peschau appear for the plaintiff, and Iredell Mearea, Esq , for the defendant. Mr. Meares had finished speaking when the court adjourned yesterday evening. Mr. Bellamy will speak this morning. A similar case against the same defendant brought bv Mr. O. S. Grainger, and the suit entitled L J. Stern berger vs. L Sbrier, et a!., go over until next term. The ease of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company against J. P. Ker- van, which came back from the Su preme Court, was continued for the plaintiff. Cases st for to day are Laura G. Hales vs. Jno. W. Harper; J. H. 81oan vs. R. E. Lee; Z. H. Barnes vs. A.O.LB.B. Co. Pretty Little Yacht Here. The pleasure yacht"Boamer," owned and captained by Capt. H. C. Roome, of the New York Athletic Club, arrived at the custom house wharf yesterday, from Havana to New York. She is an exceedingly trim little craft and is projielled either by electricity from a 3 Kilo Watts dynamo or by gas fur nished from naptba. She excited no end of admiration along Water street yesterday and was pronounced easily the prettiest yacht that has visited here in some tune. ' Cant. Roome. is ac companied by his wife and . son, Mr. W. C. Roome, and expects to proceed when the'weather is favorable. Colonist Dames' Annual Pilgrlmsge.

The Fruit and Produce Trade Asso ciation of New York, on February 28th, 1901, passed the following reso lution: "That the secretary be instructed to notify Mr. If. Townsend. of the Penn sylvania Riilroad Company, that it is the sense of this Association that all berries shipped in solid cars from North Carolina for more than one consignee in New York, be delivered and checked out by the railroad com pany at tne regular market car rate. and only solid cars intended for one consignee to take the solid car rate at this end." The enforcement of this resolution would have destroyed practically the car load rate tbat the strawberry growers have bem granted by the Atlantic Coast Line, and buyers and certain combinations would enjoy the benefits that was intended for all the growers of this section. The Execu tive Committee of the East Carolina Truck and Fruit Growers Association, realizing the danger this most impor tant factor in their business was in. sent their enterprising '.business agent. Mr. H. T. Bauman, and Mr. N. M, Jurnev, of Mt Odve, N. C, to ap pear before this Association and ask for a modification of this resolution, permitting two consignees in solid cars, billed from one shipper to one consignee, taking car load rate, etc. How well these gentlemen succeeded in their mission, the following will show: New York. April 6th, 1901. At a meeting of the Fruit and Pro duce Trade Association on April 6th. 1901. the following motion was made and carried: ' Tnat Mr. H. T. Bauman be notified that our Association has arranged with the Pennsylvania itailroad Co.. as to delivery of cars containing two con signees at car-load rates, and for the purpose of avoiding complications, all cars be billed at actual count and bill lading demanded at actual count not shipper's load and tally, and that each refrigerator car contain a correct manifest of its contents, tacked on the door, and that car be consigned to house having the greatest number of packages." Signed for the Fruit and Produce Trade Association by Thoa. P. Wal lace, Secretary. The rates are now the same as last year and through the efforts of Mr. Mr. Bauman a saving of thousands of dollars will result to the growers. It is seldom that an association of such wide scope and influence grants a con cession of this character and Mr. Bau man is receiving merited congratula tions from truckers throughout the belt EFFECTED AN ORGANIZATION.
